The incident was set up after Rick tried to get Michonne to escape the C.R.M.
Rick was so distraught over his wifes actions that he blew up, telling her, I belong here.
And you will never change that.

Everything we had is broken.

But did he mean it?
Thats the ultimate question, Lincoln tells EW.
The point is that he knows he’s stymied because of Jadis.
She’s rekindled the love.
For Gurira, Michonnes snap decision was about snapping Rick out of his funk.
Plus, both characters have been known to take drastic action in the past.
They both have a crazy switch, notes the actress and executive producer.
You’ve seen it in both of them in various ways.
you’re free to think about how she fought the Governor.
you’re able to think about how he bit out the guy’s neck.
They both have a crazy switch, and it comes when they’re pushed against the wall.
It comes when they’re taking care of their own.
It comes in that moment where they need to make a breakthrough for their family or for themselves.

So it seems it was all Ricks fault!
He had the gall to say to her, Everything between us is broken, argues Gurira.
And her costar agrees.
It’s exactly the right reply to that question that he posed, says Lincoln.
He went, This is over, and it’s exactly the right response.
Yeah, but grabbing her husband and jumping out of a helicopter mid-flight?
She does calculate the odds, says Gurira of what may seem to be certain death.
She sees that there’s water below them.
There was nothing else to do.
She also gives credit for the idea to co-creatorScott M. Gimple.
That definitely was Gimple’s idea.
I thought that was a very, very, very smart ending.
Gimple also says Michonnes move may not be the suicide mission that it seems.
It is less dangerous than you might think, he insists.
On that count, mission accomplished.
